Lawton named CEO of Ansaldo STS USA

Ansaldo STS said Wednesday that as part of its ongoing re-organization, it had named Thomas P. Lawton president and CEO of Ansaldo STS USA, succeeding Dr. Alan E. Calegari.

"This change comes as a result of an April 2011 new organization of Ansaldo STS, which focuss on streamlining efficiencies globally to better serve customers in an increasingly competitive global rail transportation market," the company said in an announcement of Calegari's departure. "Ansaldo STS thanks Dr. Calegari for his work on behalf of the company."
